UWT groups join the world In saying no to war
by Karie Anderson
"The people, united, will never be defeated," the estimated crowd of 1,000 antiwar protesters chanted Feb. 15 on a march from Mckinley Park to the Union Station here in Tacoma.
Among that assembly of protesters was the Peace and Justice Advocacy Group The organization had been established mainly as a facul¬ ty and staff group, however, with the pending war in Iraq many students have expressed interest in the group. Stemming from this, a new student organi¬ zation has emerged. They are the Advocates for Dissent.
"Advocates for Dissent exists to provide students at the University of Washington, Tacoma the space to freely give voice to and act on their social, political and economic interests," said Maggie Rapkoch, the group's new president. "Such as intema¬ tional aggression, institutional inequality and other hegemonic social injustices."
The success ofthe group will depend on the inclusion of people from diverse back¬ grounds and political persuasions, accord¬ ing to Rapkoch. Their actions will range from academic discourse to artistic expressions of dissent - including attending local peace rallies.

Identity theft crimes doubled
by Paul Schrag
Identity theft is one ofthe fastest-growing crimes in the United States. Washington State is one of the leading states dealing with smarter criminals and a growing num¬ ber of victims according to the Federal Trade Commission.
In 2002, according to a Jan. 2 article in the New York Times, national rates for iden¬ tity theft doubled from 86,000 to 162,000 cases reported. Assistant director at the F.T.C.O's Bureau of Consumer Protection Betsy Broder says that the dramatic rise in reports partly reflects greater consumer awareness and doesn't necessarily directly reflect and increase in crimes.
"It's not scientific," says Broder, quoted in the New Yoric Times. Statistics for ID fraud crimes are self-reported and some consumers may too broadly define identity theft to include other types of fraud. Reports do give useful figures like types of crimes being reported.
